Michael Gilligan has agreed to take on the role of club tournament director! Matt Markland will be joining Michael in bringing more variety to the club competitions in the form of Saturday tournaments (e.g. exerciser quads similar to the Chess Castle) and partnerships with chess-friendly groups like LTS and Jersey Jo’s in Rochester.

In addition, several club members have volunteered to assist with social media, improve our website, and help maintain our calendar. We will be meeting in working groups to continue the projects.

Thank you all. These improvements will help guarantee the continued success of Rochester Chess.
